for Windows guests on Linux hosts I like the shared clipboard and shared
folders of virtualbox. I never used VMware ESXi...

...I'm using QEMU/KVM for a Linux guest on a Linux host. It's better
than virtualbox in many ways, but at least file sharing requires
workarounds.

The issue with the "Open Source Edition" as well as the non-OSE and
Windows 11 guests is
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/76531
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21268

"[snip] Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris
hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including
but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista,
Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10) [snip]" - https://www.virtualbox.org/

The don't mention Windows 11.

Since I'm on 6.1.40 and can take a look at 6.1.44+,
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-6.1#v44 .

"If you're looking for the latest VirtualBox 6.1 packages, see
VirtualBox 6.1 builds. Version 6.1 will remain supported until December
2023." - https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Still no good prospects.
